Aeris Snowflake Free Crochet Pattern
If you’ve tried making crochet snowflakes, you probably already know how bad they can look right off the hook. It’s normal and nothing to worry about, as the blocking and stiffening process is crucial to get the geometric look we all love. What we often forget about, though, is how much the final shape depends on our tweaks and adjustments.
This snowflake is mainly built with chain stitches, which are extremely malleable and delicate. How you shape it during the blocking process is up to you. My shaping created slightly rounded arms and a leafy-flowery motif at the center, but I strongly encourage you to experiment during blocking to find the shapes you like most.
